Abstract: An elongated, rod-like rack (10) for use in an automotive-type steering gear assembly and like mechanisms, is formed of an elongated extruded tube divided lengthwise into a substantially solid rack portion (11) and a substantially hollow, link portion (14). Transversely extending teeth (12) are broached on the rack portion (11) for engagement with a drive pinion means and the like for transmitting power through the rack. The rack is formed by positioning a tubular blank within an open ended extrusion die having an extrusion throat and partially pushing the tubular blank through the throat for extruding the material longitudinally and collapsing radially inwardly to form a substantially solid, elongated rack portion. Then, the extrusion is continued with a punch having a mandrel arranged within the blank and within the die throat for extruding a thin wall length (17), forming the hollow, integral link part (14) of the rack (10). The trailing end may be terminated in an inwardly extending, thick wall portion (18) suitable for forming threads thereon. The elongated rack part (11) has a fine, axially extending opening (15) along its length resulting from a space left when the material is inwardly collapsed in the die throat for providing a communication passageway. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Conventionally, substantially rigid parts such as panels and the like, are joined by mechanical fitments or couplers which not only require tools to asemble and disassemble but also create concentrated stress points at the junctions where the fitments or couplers are located. The present device utilizes hook and loop coupling material to detachably secure the parts together and incorporate mechanical location and aligning means between the two parts just prior to the engagement of the hook and loop fastener portions with one another thus facilitating the accurate assembly of the parts. Although designed primarily for use in various types of knock-down furniture and the like, it can of course be adapted for use with other substantially rigid parts.

Abstract: Un plafond et compartiment à bagages combiné est proposé pour une cabine d'avion ayant deux couloirs longitudinaux, un compartiment central et deux porte-bagages latéraux, le plafond étant formé d'éléments individuels courbes qui s'étendent approximativement entre les bords supérieurs des porte-bagages, avec des tubes fluorescents correspondant chacun à un élément du plafond et qui s'étendent dans le sens de la longueur de l'avion. Les éléments (5, 11) du plafond sont de forme approximativement parabolique, leur partie moins courbe s'étendant jusqu'au tube fluorescent (6) qui est recouvert par un écran (12) de sorte que la cabine est éclairée par une lumière essentiellement indirecte. Du côté du tube fluorescent (6) opposé à l'élément de plafond (5, 11) est agencé un réflecteur (7) qui réfléchit la plus grande partie de la lumière émise par le tube fluorescent (6) vers l'élément de plafond (5, 11). Un avantage particulier de l'invention est le fait que l'on ne requiert plus que la moitié du nombre usuel de tubes fluorescents et d'appareils de précommutation correspondants, ce qui permet non seulement de réduire les coûts de fabrication, mais aussi de réduire considérablement le poids de l'ensemble.

Abstract: Un cylindre ventilateur (12) servant, d'une part, à introduire de l'air relativement sec dans les espaces formant poches (P1, P3, P5) situés entre les cylindres de séchage (10) et les bandes de tissu (F) et de papier (W) circulant simultanément dans une machine à fabriquer le papier et, d'autre part, à supprimer l'air relativement humide qui se libère de la bande de papier (W) en mouvement lorsqu'elle vient en contact avec les cylindres de séchage chauffants (10). Le cylindre ventilateur (12) possède une pluralité de compartiments séparés (18, 20), les uns introduisant de l'air surpressurisé par rapport à la pression atmosphérique dans les espaces formant poches, les autres rejetant de l'air, à une pression inférieure à celle de l'atmosphère, hors des espaces formant poches. Les compartiments (18) introduisant l'air dans le cylindre alternent avec les compartiments (20) rejetant l'air hors du cylindre. La température de la structure interne du cylindre est de ce fait équilibrée en circonférence autour de l'arbre central (16) du cylindre (12) et le voilage thermique du cylindre est réduit au minimum.

Abstract: A cast composite material is prepared from a modified aluminum-containing matrix and reinforcement particles mixed into the matrix. From about 15 to about 130, preferably from about 20 to about 50, parts per million of an element, preferably beryllium, that forms a more stable oxide than magnesium oxide is included in the matrix alloy. The stable-oxide-forming element reduces the amount and thickness of the aluminum oxide and other oxides formed at the surface of the melt, which otherwise may be mixed into the melt to cause microstructural irregularities in the matrix of the cast composite material.

Abstract: A differential receiver incorporated into a MAU which receives both Manchester packets and linkpulses according to the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard has polarity detection and correction circuit for automatically detecting a reversed polarity for RD input lines. The differential receiver samples incoming pulses for time, amplitude and pulse width qualification and makes a preliminary polarity determination based upon polarity of such qualified pulses. This preliminary polarity allows a linktest state machine to transition to a link_pass state, enabling output drivers of the MAU. Additionally, the linkpulse polarity information initially makes a polarity determination for the entire differential receiver which asserts a FIX POLARITY signal. The FIX POLARITY signal controls a correction circuit which internally remedies reversed input lines. Preferably, the correction circuit internally reroutes the signals. An ETD polarity circuit makes polarity determinations from any ETD information received, as effected by the correction circuit. The ETD polarity circuit independently controls the linkpulse polarity determinations and conflicting determinations are resolved in favor of the ETD polarity circuit. Upon detecting two consecutive, consistent valid ETDs, the ETD polarity circuit locks-in the polarity determinations until a reset or a linkfail condition. The correction circuit effects both Manchester packets and linkpulses, so an incorrectly locked polarity will produce inverted linkpulses which will not allow the MAU to remain in the link_pass state. In the linkfail state, the MAU may reestablish the correct polarity.

Abstract: Est décrit un agencement de retour à la normale après dérangements dans un équipement ou des unités de transmission formant des circuits dit virtuels, permettant de transmettre des paquets dans un réseau. Les dérangements sont détectés dans les chemins de transmission associés à un noeud de réseau, et une indication d'incident est produite pour tous les circuits virtuels passant dans le noeud, affectés par l'incident. Les indications de dérangements sont ensuite transmises par les circuits virtuels affectés correspondant ou poar d'autre circuits virtuels désignés. Si d'éventuels circuits virtuels affectés aboutissent au noeud, aucune indication de dérangement n'est produite pour ceux-ci, et ils sont transférés sur d'autres circuits virtuels. Autrement, les indications de dérangements sont transmises par des circuits virtuels correspondant ou par d'autres circuits désignés, à des unités connectées au noeud ou à d'autres noeuds inconnus. Un noeud recevant un message d'indication de dérangement, détermine si le circuit virtuel correspondant aboutit au noeud, comporte une ou plusieurs autres liaisons virtuelles dans le noeud, ou passe par celui-ci jusqu'à un autre noeud inconnu. Si un circuit virtuel affecté aboutit au noeud, ou comporte une ou plusieurs autres liaisons virtuelles dans le noeud, il est transféré à une autre liaison virtuelle. Si le circuit virtuel affecté n'aboutit pas au noeud, et n'a pas d'autre liaison virtuelle, le message d'indication de dérangement correspondant est passé, c'est-à-dire, transféré, par l'intermédiaire du noeud, à ce circuit virtuel par une unité, jusqu'à un autre noeud inconnu.
